When I have to think differently, I think same. When I have to think same I think differently. I'm always playing the wrong game.

Re: Match Game XI: State by State
Oh, my. My home state isn't getting a lot of love this week.
I was wondering how much the responses would skew toward college sports. More than I thought, but with one notable exception.
Thanks for hosting the game, Vermonter!

Re: Match Game XI: State by State
I'm very bad at this!
I just stumbled across this old Match Game (while trying to track down a certain missing boardie), and four of the answers I thought of weren't given by anyone. (RADIO SONG, GHOST SHIP, CHARLIE BUCKET, and UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE). At least I'm consistent.
Thanks, Vermonter, and congrats, TerrHeel!
